About me
Since my PhD exam in 2005 my focus has been on the multimorbidity concept - to elucidate the phenomenon displaying the consequenses of this in primary care. This will be done through various research network dealing with
a) pain; b) elderly; c) health care system development.
Lately I have initiated a new research network: Multimorbidity, mainly in primary care.
